"The hour is coming, and now is" - The Creeds of a New Religion

The Creeds of a New Religion

The creed of the new religion should be as follows: 
1. We believe in the afterlife as Christ Jesus assumed.
2. We believe in existence of the God and Satan as Christ Jesus assumed.
3. We believe that rich men fall into the hells after death as Christ Jesus taught.
4. We believe that poor men are accepted in Heaven after death as Christ Jesus taught.

This means that we all continue to live in the spirit world, namely the afterlife, after physical death in this world.  Therefore, we do not have to be afraid of death.

More importantly, we have to be poor to be surely accepted in Heaven.  We have to avoid making efforts to be rich as much as possible.

According to Christ Jesus, those who love justice and peace in addition to enduring poverty will be also accepted in Heaven.  And, to make it further sure, we have to have a honest faith in the God, our Lord Christ Jesus, and Virgin Mary, fighting against Satan, evil spirits, etc.  

But, trying to be poor as much as possible means fighting against Satan.  And, believing in the afterlife means to believe in existence of souls and spirits.  So, following the above creed is enough and sufficient.
 
The new religion based on the above creed should grow popular.

John 5, King James Version

21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.



"immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay" - Satan is the Common Enemy for Everyone

Satan is the Common Enemy for Everyone

About two-thirds of Americans believe in the afterlife.  And 77% of Americans believe in the God or gods.  However, crimes on assets occur in a ratio of more than 20,000 cases per 100,000 people in the U.S. every year.  

This fact tells that the notion that there is the afterlife or the spirit world is not enough to prevent people from falling into crimes.

People should also believe that only poor and faithful men can be accepted in Heaven while rich men should fall into the hells after death in this world as Christ Jesus told people 2,000 years ago. 

Indeed, the core of the teachings of Christ Jesus is that rich men cannot enter Heaven but poor men can do after death in this world.  If people believe in this teaching of Christ Jesus, this world should become a place for competition for poverty.

However, since the beginning of material civilization thousands of years ago, men have pursued wealth to be happy in this world.  This is the main cause of problems, pains, and unhappiness for people in this world.  But, Christ Jesus came to this world to tell people the truth that rich men could not enter Heaven when their souls entered into the spirt world after death in this world.  This teaching is so revolutionary that people who first heard these words were astonished, but many of them accepted it.  Christian churches of today should also be based on this revolutionary teaching. 

In this sense, Christianity should be a religion where poverty is pursued rather than a religion to make people rich and happy in this world.  Men should be poor in this world but happy forever in the afterlife or men should fall into the hells forever after having rich and happy life in this world for some decades.  In other words, men should take eternal life and happiness in the afterlife or temporary happiness in this world.

If men are not brainwashed with money by Satan, men should naturally and rationally take poverty in this world and eternal life and happiness in the afterlife rather than luxury life or happiness in this world but pains in the hells in the afterlife.     

So, Satan who arouses material lusts in us is the common enemy for everyone.  Or, if you want money to be happy in this world, you have been already brainwashed by Satan.  Every religion should teach people that their enemy is Satan who makes them pursue money and wealth in addition to happiness, higher status or power of domination in this world.

Luke 5, King James Version
22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.

"when he saw him, he fell at his feet" - Toward the New Civilization in the 22nd Century

Toward the New Civilization in the 22nd Century

Since the middle of the 19th century through WWI and WWII in the first half of the 20th century, the world came into the era of global crises leading to, at worst, a fall of the human civilization.

Some religious people would rather think that the era of the last judgment and the end of the world came.  It is no wonder, since 2,000 years have already passed since the first coming of Christ Jesus.  Indeed, 2,000 years after Abraham the Jewish people were expelled from Palestine through the Jewish-Roman War although Christ Jesus came to the human world 60 years before the War.  The present people might lose their civilization through pandemics and wars in the 21st century as the history gave a warning.  But, how has the God given warnings to the human beings?

From the spiritual point of view, the first warning seems to have been given by Swedenborg, a notable 18th-century Swedish psychic who was allowed to see the afterlife, as he wrote that he had seen the last judgment being conducted in the spirit world around 1760.  He thought that the effect and consequence of this last judgement in the spirit world should appear in the human world 2 to 3 centuries later.  

Secondary, Newton, a notable 18th-century British scientist, concluded after his hard study of the Bible that the end of the world would start after 2060.  By the way, when Swedenborg met Newton in the afterlife or the spirit world, the Swedish psychic found that Newton was a sincere man and was near Heaven.

Third, the prophecies of the Irish saint Malachy, the 12th century bishop who predicted all the popes, predicted that the last pope would be Peter the Roman:
"Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills [i.e. Rome] will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End."
And, the incumbent Pope Francis seems to match Peter the Roman, since he is the first pope who has adopted the name of Francis like the first pope Peter and he is also the first pope from the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) whose headquarters is in Rome.  

Fourth, Virgin Mary who appeared in the apparition seen by Conchita in Garabandal, Span, around 1960 told her that before the end of time there should be only Pope Paul VI, Pope John Paul I, Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI.  The end of time should mean the time of the era since the middle of 19th century when Virgin Mary started to appear to give warnings in La Salette, Lourdes, Fatima, Garabandal, Međugorje, etc.  Therefore, the start of the end of time after the middle of 19th century to the present day should begin during papacy of Pope Francis.

So, this era began with the last judgement having been conducted in the spirit word as the God allowed Swedenborg to see around 1760.  As the spirit world showed great muddle due to commingling of evil spirits, the God decided to tidy up the environment in the spirit world by driving evil spirits to the hells.  But, as more and more human spirits coming to the spirit world after their death in the physical world went into the hells, Virgin Mary must have been saddened, so that She decided to give warnings in apparitions mostly seen by children to the human beings.  That is why such apparitions have been reported so often in these decades.

This is extraordinary.  We have to listen to Virgin Mary.

In my feeling, the third world war will occur in this century, or probably in 2020s at the earliest, since Pope Francis at 85 seems not to be able to keep his papacy for decades more.  The war should be between democratic nations led by the U.S., G7 countries, etc. and autocratic nations such as China, Russia, etc.  The war will be won by G7, but the world structure established by G7 and the Vatican should be crumbled.  The result of the war should be so grave that not only the economic and political regimes but also the religious system should undergo great transformation.  Christianity should become more spiritual.  People will come to understand the spirit world and the afterlife more clearly.

In the 1st century, after Christ Jesus left the human world around A.D. 30, the Temple of Jerusalem fell around A.D. 70.  In the 21st century, the human world might see WWIII around 2030, and the human world might start to disintegrate around 2070.  However, Christ Jesus might come to the human world to save the mankind and its civilization, so that the human history will continue in the 22nd century and further on.         

But, the human civilization in the 22nd century should be different from the present civilization.  For example, people would be no more afraid of death, since they all believe the existence of the afterlife.  They will no more seek wealth and happiness in this world, but try to be accepted in Heaven after death.  The new civilization should be built around the new commonsense that human spirts continue to live in the spirit world after their physical death in this world.  I really hope that none will try any more to earn money as much as possible even by selling their souls to Satan.

Mark 5, King James Version

22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
